"Life is rich tapestry" is something my Granddad always said, mostly to my Mum but he was a psychologist and had a great way with words. A tapestry is like a woven fabric with pictures or illustrations sewn in to them that tell a story or life event.

A RICH tapestry is one with many pictures, life stories but not just in your own personal sense. Everyone in this world has their own life stories to share and they have interacted with others to create their tapestry. So with this saying, life has many complex events that are all interwoven in the fabric of our lives.

Such a twist of words

Haha, it was meant to be, I'm cheeky like that 😁 I was replying to this part of what you said:

I guess if we all in the world were given all these things at one, that is a balanced life, we'd never appreciate the value of working since everything has been provided for us already.

You have to have imbalance in life to appreciate the things that mean the most to you. Like you said, if you had everything and had that balance, what would you appreciate if it wasn't there?

So in our strive for balance, we actually need that IMbalance to appreciate the things that are important to us.

I'd love to find out how many times we've said the words "balance" and "imbalance" in the last conversation thread! Those words start to sound weird the more you say them right?! 😃
